New Zealand were 12-1 on to win today’s game but England have pulled off an
extraordinary win here. There were signs that Lancaster’s team were moving
in the right direction but to say this performance was unexpected would be
something of an understatement. Brilliant character from the players to
overpower the All Blacks and lift the Hillary Shield - this should give
England massive confidence for the Six Nations to come.

Chris Robshaw was the villain of the piece in some quarters for his
decision-making against South Africa. But not now.
